I regret the word "secular." I think it is a form o? thought which belongs to the 19th century, not to the 20th. It goes right to the root of religion, whether you teach children that goodness, truth and beauty are supreme values or whether you try to explain them away. My desire in education is that children should )>e taught that these values are supreme, and I call that a religious education. In England, there has l>een no religious conflkt in the schools. There is a conscience clause, hut children are never withdrawn under it.—Dr. Norwood.
